points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an essential
part of the birthday celebration. A birthday cake with candles
is not just for children. It is traditional to place a
total of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the birthday cake. Numeral candles are popular when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lit for display. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles. Blowing all the candles out
in one breath customarily brings good fortune for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is comparatively
new to birthday custom. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of the
birthday celebration. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renditions over the years.
Mailing
birthday cards started in England about
a hundred years ago. Cards were often sent off as an
"apology" when you couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we frequently send birthday greeting cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has since become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming familiar. Not remembering a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the card even if its
belated.
Birthday
parties have become social gatherings
where friends and relatives would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates from school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
